This year, domestic companies account for 40% of the total number of exhibitors. Other countries widely presented include Germany (19%), Russia (16%), China (7%) and Turkey (4.5%).
Thousands of healthcare professionals from Kazakhstan and other countries gather in Almaty for the KIHE exhibition. In addition, other events will be held alongside the exhibition, including: the General Assembly of Doctors and Pharmacists of Kazakhstan on Law and Health, organised by the National Medical Assocaiton; and the Contacts Exchange of the German Industry Association of Optical, Medical and Mechatronical Technologies (SPECTARIS). The Contacts Exchange will be located at the exhibition. Presentations of new equipment and programmes will be held in the seminar room at the exhibition. The seminar by Lasers Medica - “Current problems of modern laser cosmetology and plastic surgery” – promises to be of interest to visitors and exhibitors.
Zhaksylyk Doskaliev, Minister of Health of Kazakhstan, noted the importance of the event in his welcome letter: “Thanks to the consistent implementation of the State Healthcare Reform and Development Programme for 2005-2010, and the annual increase in industry funding, primary care has been reformed, human and scientific potential enhanced, and standards adopted for the phased switch of the pharmaceutical sector to the relevant international standards. In addition, new research centers and clinics with modern equipment have been established, the quality of medical services has improved, and a transition to budgeting for results has been made. The KIHE exhibition is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest advances in healthcare, identify new medical and scientific prospects, and hold a dialogue about activities aimed at improving public health in Kazakhstan.”
New products at the exhibition
At the exhibition this year, a new, domestically produced product will be unveiled: acid and basic solutions used in hemodialysis for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure. “Packaged, ready-made solutions, the new generation of consumables for artificial kidney machines, have come to replace the dry salt used in Kazakhstan for the past 10-15 years. The emergence of locally produced hemodialysis solutions is a big step for Kazakhstan’s pharmaceutical industry,” says Miras Kozhakeev, CEO of Berunifarm.
Medicus Eurasia, one of the largest suppliers of medical equipment and technology in Kazakhstan, will present several new products in various fields of medical technology. “The first thing we would like to draw your attention to is the three latest ultrasound systems by GE Healthcare - LOGIQ E9, Voluson E8 and Vivid S6. Another new product is the Duolith SD1 made by the Swiss company Storz Medical. It is the world’s first therapeutic device using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy,” says Kairat Seysenov, director of Medicus Eurasia. This is not the first time we have taken part in the KIHE exhibition. The content of our participation changes constantly, as do health problems. We are currently focusing on cardiology and cardiac surgery. Our company has been actively involved in equipping health facilities with cardio surgical equipment through the State Programme for Cardiology and Cardiac Care. To date, we have delivered 14 turnkey cardiac centres throughout the country. As part of a programme for early detection of breast cancer in women of childbearing age, our X-ray mammography units have been supplied to 94 regional clinics. In addition to direct delivery and monitoring of installed equipment, our own technical service provides after-sales service, warranty and post-guarantee repair. Medicus Eurasia also gives training to doctors in special open learning centres at institutes.
